A.T. Robertson Commentary Mark 5:1

"And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes." — Mark 5:1 (ASV)

The Gerasenes (των Γερασηνων). Like Lu 8:26 while Mt 8:28 has "the Gadarenes." The ruins of the village Khersa (Gerasa) probably point to this site which is in the district of Gadara some six miles southeastward, not to the city of Gerasa some thirty miles away.
